Today we talked about a band that consistently makes decent to good punk music in a genre that they kinda sorta made popular. The Dropkick Murphys are a staple in any late 90s punk kid’s repertoire. This specific album is the first and last to feature original singer Mike McColgan.

What really sets the Dropkicks a part from most bands falls into two parts. Their iconic Celtic Punk style and their ability to be punk outside of music. The Celtic Punk style could be said to be started by 80s band The Pogues. However, The Pogues style focused more so on the folk aspect rather than the punk. Dropkick extrapolated on the thought and really drove it home.

When punk bands write music there are many categories that the lyrics fall into. Union workers rights isn’t usually one of them. Do Or Die deals with a lot of issues concerning unions and equal pay type of stuff and it’s refreshing to hear a more focused anger. These new punk kids could learn a thing or two rather than just writing a “Fuck President (insert current president)”.

Do Or Die is a borderline lo-fi attempt at being punk. But, from the opening Celtic punk “Cadence To Arms” to the closing drunk shanty of “Skinhead On The MTBA” Do Or Die really solidified the Dropkicks as a force to be reckoned with. Who knew that they would continue to write music that was just as good if not better? Damn, some good stuff.

Ok, so we like to think that at Asinine Radio we are have a pretty eclectic taste in music. That said, at least 50% of AR love this damn album. Alternative hip hop is alive and well with Shwayze’s second album.

Shwayze is basically two people; Shwayze (Aaron Smith) and Cisco Adler. This album features a number of guest musicians starting off with Snoop Dogg. The rest of the album packs quite the punch in the alternative hip hop realm. Think sort of OutKast in the Speakerboxxx days if it were a college beach themed album.

The album does sort of have this theme of it that flows pretty well throughout. A decent party album to put on while you’re sippin’ on Coronas And Lime (another Shwyaze song). Sally Is A… and Perfect For Me are the hip hop equivalent of something straight out of the emo love scene. I think my favourtie thing about Shwayze is their ability to write party songs with crazy catchy melodies while still keeping their hip hop elements.

Many songs follow an actual structure you’d see from any group from the 50s – 70s. Having that verse/chorus structure definitely helps keep the interest and gets you into the groove! That could partly be attributed to Cars legend Ric Ocasek and his hand in songwriting and producing.

If you like to dance, party, hang out, have fun, enjoy life, or anything that isn’t boring you should check out Shwayze. If you are a boring person you should also check out Shwayze, they’ll change your life.

The Vandals have always held a special place in the hearts of Asinine Radio. Look What I Almost Stepped In was my first introduction to The Vandals, specifically “Jackass”. While watching some surf / skate videos on Fuse TV the song “Jackass” came on and I was hooked. After downloading the album of Kazaa it became a staple in my music playlists for ages.

The Vandals do a fantastic job at 2 things. Making punk music fun and having fun while making punk music. They aren’t the fastest, hardest, or most technical but damn they can write songs that show us just how talented they truly are. They been around since forever and have so many songs under their belt. Songs like “Go” show us they can be straight up punk and still continue to write some super siq songs.

Being The Vandals also comes with the territory of being controversial. The song “Fourteen” is no exception and seems to pride itself on just being a weird, catchy, pervert punk song that you can’t help but sing along to.

I don’t think The Vandals will ever stop being good. With every year they’ve been in existence they’ve just gotten better at different things. LWIASI isn’t their most “punk” album or their most well received but I’ll be damned if it’s not a powerhouse to be reckoned with! So check it out if you like fun music. Or just music in general ‘cus there’s a little something for everyone here.
